THE
FAI WORLD GRAND PRIX WELCOMES OTHER AIR SPORTS
By decision
of its Coordinating Committee, the FAI World Grand Prix will open its
events to other Air Sports Commissions, in addition to Power Aerobatics
which will remain the core of the event. CIVA will still provide the
Judges for the aerobatic part of the competition, of course.
Top Parachutists will be the next sportsmen to represent their discipline
in the Grand Prix. They should be followed by the most spectacular champions
from different airsports.
A few tests will be made in 2002 and the full effect of this decision
should appear in 2003.
